Daren Callow is a singer, songwriter and guitarist with a growing reputation for performances that combine strong rhythmical elements and clever use of technology with thought-provoking lyrics that range from the deeply emotional to the humorous. His electro-acoustic live shows combine everything from a low-tech tambourine through to ultra high-tech Boss LoopStation and TC Helicon VoiceLive voice processor to create a surprisingly powerful and panoramic sound.
"One man and his guitar, Daren Callow presents us with the vivid imagery and broken emotions that one would expect to hear from an acoustic rock performer. However, the great difference is that both the song writing and performance are a cut above the rest. By using effects on the vocals, the songs take on a new life of their own and really give you something to think about. The songs are original and he has avoided the clichés that make acoustic rock, at times intolerable. Rhythmic and soulful, Daren Callow captured the mood and imagination of the crowd."

STARS IN EXILE (2004 - Current)
More recently he formed part of the ethereal rock quartet Stars In Exile, featuring Thelema exiles Tim Felix and Neil Harris, and Mint400 / Cortizone exile Andy Prestige. This hard-hitting foursome mixed guitar synths and rock licks with powerful drums and lit up the world with their debut album Luminosity. They are now working on penning new tracks for the follow-up.
NORMAL (1998 - 2001)
Alongside Stevie Simmons, Sean"-y boy" Watkins and James "the frames" Walker these hard-working, ordinary lads played catchy, quirky indie numbers and were favourites of universities and local radio alike.
AIR (1986 - 1996)
With indie-pop outfit Air (not the French band), he supported an eclectic mix of similarly out-of-time acts (Comsat Angels, Gang Of Four, The Specials, Half Man Half Biscuit) and some up-and-coming indie acts (Gene, Travis, Out Of My Hair, Jenny Jones).
